I'm not going to panic until there's no chocolate.

Good idea.
And if you do find yourself running low on chocolate,
you can join the rest of us, popping over to @hollydolly 's
who, I have heard, usually has a good supply in stock.

Me, too, @hollydolly! The best-kept secret in the US is the Choceur chocolate that Aldi carries. OMG! It is so good. Unfortunately, the last couple of times I looked for it there, they didn't have the individually-wrapped dark chocolate that I like so I've had to settle for Dove dark chocolate. Sigh. It's good, but it's not Choceur

For some reason, I don't like dark chocolate in general, but I do love the Choceur milk chocolate raisin and hazelnut bars. A little goes a long way! Yum! Happy Valentine's Day!Me, too, @hollydolly!

Use oatmeal soap@debodun, skin miseries can cover woes from sweating to insect bites, to heat rashes and more.
All you had to say was that you get skin eruptions in warm weather. I promise I would have taken your word for it.
Sorry about the type of skin issues you're suffering with. They must be miserable indeed.

No allspice in 3 out of 4 stores I tried. One had a 1.5 oz bottle and for $7.39. I can go without before playing that outrageous price!

On a happier spice note, I've noticed that the price of pure vanilla recently dropped back down to earth from the stratospheric levels it occupied over the last few years.

When needed, I get spices from Aldi. The containers are small so when they're out of date, I don't hesitate to pitch them. Haven't checked recently, but most of their spices were priced at $1.
For some reason the grocery stores I frequent do not have any orange juice other than their store brand. Typically the store brand juice is more water than juice so I refuse to buy it. I can live without it until I can find a brand I prefer. Same with Half and Half I use in my coffee. I prefer Land O' Lakes brand but all I saw at the grocery was their house brand which, again, is very watery vs. creamy and rich.

I noticed that about all juices I consume whether fresh or bottled - they seem very watered down lately.

I mix their salted mixed nuts with an equal amount of unsalted. I also throw in extra whole umsalted almonds, unsalted walnuts, salted peanuts and brazil nuts for a mix that DH and I like and that isn't too salty.

And I have found that, where I have unsalted peanuts (etc.), I can always salt them.

Salted nuts are too salty. Unsalted are bland. I get "lightly" salted if available.

I agree, which is why I mix them myself.

I just bought a bag of salted smoked almonds from Aldi. Haven't tasted them yet. When something like that is too salty, I rub some in my hands briskly over a dish to remove some of the salt.
Actually, I love salt.
